8EATTLE. Wash. A city of 50,000
parsons engaged In electro-chemical
Industries may rise on the 6000 acres
of sagebrush beside the Columbia
' river, to exploit water power rivaling
that of Niagara Falls, If success fol
lows plans referred by the federal
water, power commission in Washington,-
D. C, to Colonel W. J. Borden,
army onglnecr for this district.
Such a ci(y would stand at Priest
Rapids, Wash., 160 mllos cast of Seat
tle, on the pthur side of tho Cascade
mountains.
A subsidiary of the General Electric
company has applied to the commis
sion for d license to construct a dam
two miles long and, 90 feet high, a
dam declared here to be in blueprint
half again ns long as the barrier
across the Mississippi river at Keokuk
Iowa. ; It is proposed to develop 750,
000 horsepower from tho rnptds, be
sides Irrigating 100,000 acres of land
in eastern Washington now devoted to
sagebrush and bunch grass, but cap
able, according to experts, of yielding
unsurpassed . fruits and crops under
Irrigation. ! The soil is volcanic lava,
ground to powder by age-gone gla
ciers. The. cost of the' power development
Is put In the application at-$41,000,-000.
and the cost of building the city
at $13,000,000. ,

strain on their purses than during the
closing year. High costs of operation
in both governments and .private in
dustries left many deficits ab the end
of this year despite high prices. .Tho
government Is trying : to . introduce
economy in all departments, and by
curtailing credits to merchants anil
even to Its own trusts, to forco down
all around. - .,
; Russia, for all practical purposes,
went on a gold basis late In 1023.
All prices In the Moscow and other
metropolitan stores aro now marked
In gold rubles. Tho year 1924 may
see the total disappearance of tho un
guaranteed paper money. While this
strenuous cnmpalgn to secure a stable
currency was proceeding, the sudden
transformation to a gold rate did
away with bargains in Russia. Tho
result was that in December prices
for commodities other than foodstuffs
were from four to five times the pre
war level. : '

ADRIAN, Mich., Dec. 21.
fr James W. IRjline, who recently
filed petitions at Lansing, placing
the name of Henry Ford in the
democratic column on the ballot
in the presidential primary next
spring, said he Is "oft the Ford
candidacy for life," In comment
ing today upon Mr. Ford's state-
me.nt of yesterday in which, the
automobile man declared he
would not oppose President Cool-
idge for election.
"The object of filing Ford peti-
Hons at bo early a date," Mr.
Holme said, "was to force a state-
ment and find out where we were
at. The spectre of a possible can-
dldacy has demoralized both old
4 parties and their leaders and
brought dissension to third party
organization,'. All this now is re-
moved -and we can settle' down to
the fact that there will be ho

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. President
Coolidge is understood to be reconsid
ering all of the shipping board vacan
cies with a view to selecting a chair
man to succeed Edward P. Farley of
Chicago. ,
Mr. Farley is Bervlng under a recess
appointment made by President Hard
ing, but his nomination as a commis
sioner by Mr. Coolidgo raised tho ques
tion of his qualifications under, tho
provision of the shipping act limiting
representatives of the Great Lakes ter
ritory to one member of the board, and
the senate commerce committee yes
terday voted iinanlmoitBly disapproval
of his selection. The committee at the
same time voted approval of the nom
inations of Frederick I. Thompson of
Mobile, Ala,, and Bert E. Haney of
Portland, but the president aftorward
sent a message to the Bonate with
drawing their names.
ne-submlssion of the Thompson and
Hanoy nominations was requested of
President Coolidge today by Senators
Underwood, . democrat Alabama,, and
McNary, republican, Oregon. The two
senators said Mr. Coolidge did not
commit hlmsolf but receivod the re
quest sympathetically.
White House officials reiterated to
day that the nominations were with
drawn so as to give the president an
opportunity to consider the appoint
ment to vacancies from tho Atlantic.
Pacific nnd interior states as a unit.
It waB said that the withdrawal did
not nocossaiily mean that tho nomin
ations of Commlslsoners Thompson
and llancy would not bo resubmitted.
